Champagne taste, beer budget? Fret not: boutique hotel experts Mr & Mrs Smith have hand-picked a bunch of great looking Australian getaways that won’t break the bank.

1/5
Ovolo Laneways, Melbourne, Australia
What’s the story? Super-central modern design den, Ovolo Laneways is all about easy living, with every handy extra you could need for a well-sorted stay thrown in. Kick back in your sleek and spacious room and enjoy the free WiFi, minibar treats and breakfast to go. Bespoke street art inspired by local laneways deck the halls; and you couldn't be better placed for rocking the city's hipster haunts.
The Smith extra Guaranteed late check-out (1pm).
What’s the deal? Save 25% off Sunday-to-Thursday night stays in selected room categories; includes breakfast and a bottle of wine. Book by 30 April for stays until 29 Feb 2016.
2/5
QT Gold Coast Gold Coast, Australia
What’s the story? This hedonistic high-rise hotel aims to please, with dreamy dining, stylish spa and sea-view rooms – all just a skip away from Surfers Paradise beach. Quirky retro finds partner in a colourful Miami Beach palette for a fun-packed feel: there’s a vintage Holden car in the driveway, longboard strapped to its roof; a swim-up pool bar and fixed-gear bikes for freewheeling down the boardwalk.
The Smith extra Use of the hammam at SpaQ, plus free late check-out (12pm).
What’s the deal? Save 30% on stays of three nights or more until 30 June 2015; includes two welcome drinks at Stingray on arrival.
3/5
Coppersmith, Melbourne,Australia
What’s the story? You can expect big things from this South Melbourne pub of poise, which sits a short tram ride away from the city centre, at the 'Paris' end of Clarendon Street. The restaurant may be helmed by a Brit, but the menu celebrates local produce with a contemporary spin; and the bar’s 18 craft beer taps showcase brews from Victoria and beyond; and wine lovers can work their way through the mainly Australian labels.
The Smith extra A delicious dessert in Coppersmith's restaurant.
What’s the deal? Free daily breakfast for two when you book 30 days or more in advance. Valid for stays until 30 June 2015.
4/5
Paperbark Camp Jervis Bay, Australia
What’s the story? A scenic two-hour drive from Sydney, this indulgent eco-retreat lets you glamp it up in luxurious tree-fringed tents flanked by the Booderee and Jervis Bay national parks. Take advantage of Mother Nature’s splendours with bush walking, creek kayaking, swimming, snorkelling and surfing; or simply lounge on your day-bed spotting kangaroos.
The Smith extra A bottle of Australian sparkling wine on arrival.
What’s the deal? Save 20% off three-night midweek breaks until 7 June 2015; includes breakfast each day.
5/5
1888 Hotel Sydney, Australia
What’s the story? Housed in a historic wool store, this boutique stay brings 21st century hip to its 19th century setting with gorgeous young staff and Instagram-friendly interiors. The hotel champions the best of old and new Australia, with reclaimed Ironbark beams, exposed brick walls and period windows in rooms, and a smart bar menu that doffs its cap to local providores.
